5.Think about your lifestyle:

If you are living in a small 4th-floor apartment and don’t need your dog as a jogging partner, then a small puppy will be better for you. On other hands when you are living in a big apartment with a large family of kids who will play with them and you need a jogging partner then a large size dog could be the better choice.

Sexual needs of your dog

It is a vital issue. Unneutered young male’s dog can make problems when their sex hormones are raging. On the other hand, female dogs go into heat twice a year. So sexual needs of a dog can create some extra problems for the dog owner.

A lovely dog house:

The dog house should have a window with the spacious interior and a front deck that the dog can sleep inside happily. A spacious front deck is crucial. Because the front deck is the perfect place to lounge in the sun and take a nap. So you have to ensure a good dog house that your dog remains safe and sound.
